The scariest monsters are those that come from within!

Impossible Forgiveness

Free of Charge

Forgiveness seems impossible - even when we know we should. We find the power to forgive when we forgive with God, empowered by the Holy Spirit to participate in Jesus' sacrifice. When we forgive, we join God in creating a new reality - a gift of living free from the charge of the guilt of our sin.

From Series: "Free of Charge"

We live in a world where nothing is free. In a culture that so lacks grace, how can we be the generous, loving people we were created to be? In this series, based on the work of theologian Miroslav Volf, we'll explore the surprising link between giving and forgiving. Join us as we find surprising freedom in generosity and grace!

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
